Static is similar to global on class level, other variables are on object (instance) level. Or on can say, you initiate a single variable to be shared and used by any number of instances of that class, by declaring it static. final static is a >> constant << variable that once initilised can never be changed. I think the convention is to name variable in the following way. String eat; static String _eat = "this"; final static String EAT = "this"; // I my self use all caps for finals (globals).
